For 15 years Proust shut himself up in a cork-lined room to write his immense novel A la Recherche du Temps Perdu. It is the story of a search for Time itself, involving a world of fantastic characters, humour, tragedy and one of the best descriptions of childhood ever written.
This film, made in 1971 for the centenary of Proust's birth, traces the life and achievement of a man who has been hailed as the greatest French writer of the century.
